MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Serdar Berdymukhamedov, the son of incumbent Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov and the current deputy prime minister, have won the presidential election in the country, securing 72.97% of the vote, the Central Election Commission (CEC) said on Tuesday.
"The deputy chairmen of the Turkmen government, Serdar Berdymukhamedov [wins the election with] 72.97%," the CEC said in a statement.
